Despair. It is the bottom. What will you do now?

Call me a sadist, but there is something that I really enjoy about looking at the picture below. Look at it for a second and take it in.

I know how this is. Why? Because...

• This is the way I have felt EVERYTIME I hear John Kerry lie to the country
• This is the way I feel everytime I hear George Soros, Michael Moore and all the lefty kooks assault not just the President, but the office of the President
• This is the way I feel evertime I have to hear about the MSM refusing to ask even the most simple questions (like, "Senator Kerry, can you confirm with certainty that you have signed form 180?)
• This is the way I have felt when I hear democrats using our troops --their casualties, specifically-- for political gain
• This is the way I have felt when I hear that good people like Miguel Estrada has been played the fool because of, literally and figuratively, a small man's obsession with maintaining political power.
• This is the way I feel when I see that over-paid, marginal-talent actors tell me how my America should be and how my opinion is less valuable then theirs
• This is the way I feel when I hear that there is a group of individuals that wants to ban my child's right to pledge allegiance to this great country

So, while I would like to extend the hand of bipartisanship, I can't.

Mr./Mrs. Liberal demonRAT, you have brought this on yourself. You deserve to feel this bad or worse.

I really hope that this will wake you up.

Let these thoughts burn in and burn in real good...

• You are an American, but You are not America.
• You are an American, but You are the ones that are out of touch with reality.
• You are an American, but You have followed the rhetoric to its logical end, which is hollow, as rhetoric is just rhetoric.
• You are an American, but you have forsaken our mighty military's ability to conquer any foe; and, worst of all,
• You are an American, but you have "checked out" of the American experiment just because you don't like what you have heard

But, this is America. And you are an American.

This is the greatest country in the world. And, you are allowed to be stupid. And, you are also allowed to change your life for the better too.

So, I hope the despair sinks in deep enough to shake your "core", because your core is what got you where you are.

This time, when you pick yourself up off the ground, don't engage in the hatred which brought you here. Don't live in denial of reality.

Try a some simple steps to pick yourself up off the ground...

• Accept reality and understand that you have meet it for the first time
• Accept that George Bush isn't an evil person
• Accept that Dick Cheney isn't pulling strings at Halliburton and the Pentagon
• Accept that Saddam is, simply, not a good guy
• Accept that Iraq is actually a strategic center in combatting islamic nutbags
• Accept Islamic extremism for what it is: a blood-thirsty notion that wants to see your throat slit
• Accept things as they are
• Accept that what you believe is grossly out-of-whack with the real world

All you Kerry supporters/Bush haters, should think about that.

Yes, hence my long-time tagline.

[Slings and Arrows]

Either one would be great. Don't ya just love having an embarrassment of riches?

[samtheman]

YOu are absolutely right.

[Poohbah]

Beat ya to it! (c8

Don't ya just love having an embarrassment of riches?

Indeed...

After those election exit polls came out, and with the thought that most if not all undecideds break to the challenger, I thought that Bush was going to lose. I wasn't sure, but it was looking a little bleak there in the afternoon. I spoke to my dad about it, and basically we agreed that even if Kerry were to be elected, life would go on. There was little that he'd really be able to differently in Iraq, and he couldn't do that much damage to the economy. A tax increase was out of the question. The thing we did agree on is that Kerry would pick some wack-nut justices to the SupCt and Appeals courts, but even still, the country would survive, and we'd still have the best country on the earth.

The way some of the DUmmies and other hard core Dems talk, you'd think they were the hutus and the tutsis just got elected or something. I mean, what are they really afraid of. How is Bush, even if he gets everything we want, going to affect their lives.

Rich people aren't going to pay as much in taxes as those people want them to. Well, big deal. It's not like they have to pay more.

We're going to keep fighting in Iraq. So don't join the army.

Eventually, a supreme court might overturn Roe-v-Wade. This will mean that someone in Nebraska who wants an abortion might have to drive to Kansas.

We're going to be protected from a bunch of Islamofacists that want to kill us all better than a Kerry presidency could possibly protect us. So they can live another day and not die in some skyscraper.

There won't be as high fuel efficiency standards on cars. But they can still drive a subcompact car.

We might drill for oil in ANWR, which would put a few hundred acres in the remote Alaskan wilderness under development. So they'll have to take a vacation 100 miles to the east or west if they were going to vacation there (which they won't).

Capital gains taxes will be lower, so they don't have to pay as much in taxes when they sell stock.

We're not going to "allow" consumers to reimport drugs from Canada, and therfore force the pharma companies to stop selling drugs to Canada in the first place. And we'll ensure that drug companies keep spending on R&D to develop cures for new diseases.

So why are the libs so sad? Because they can't run our lives as much as they thought they should? Cry me a river.

[snuffy smiff]

so, is 2 years a suitable time to GLOAT?!?!

or would 3 be much better?

good, I thought you'd say that

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

What will you do now?

Party likes it's 2004!

[valkyrieanne]

Ooooh - you get the Schadenfreude Award of the Day.

[Howlin]

I love you, matt. :-)

That's JUST the way I feel tonight.

What they can't face is that sixty million people agree with us!

What a great post. You have captured it perfectly!

[MWS]

What a great picture.

Glenn Beck was playing happy dance music this morning. I am still dancing around to it!

[beckysueb]

ME, TOO!!!!!

[MWS]

Oh, and definitely a great post as well. Definitely felt good to read.

Clinton wasn't able to directly destroy the country as he might have liked, with Hellary's health care plan for example. But he started a rot that would have redoubled in intensity if the Dork had been elected. When I saw the planes hit the towers I knew we'd been had, the party was over, and there was going to be a helluva hangover.

But for the moment, I'm only here to gloat in a most mean-spirited way:

[beckysueb]

I agree! A great man who got where he is under his own steam and not affirmative action!
